    Doesn't sound like they're actually interested in selling the team.

    They lost, but to just dwell on the offense for a bit: scoring 7 innings in the bottom of the ninth is no small feat. I am impressed that this team hangs around. Plus there were some great individual stories -- Miranda's hits-in-a-row streak is out of this world. Lee looks fantastic. Correa's grand slam...

    When I see Lewis running the bases, I have thought more than once that he is moving in a way that is not to the point of "reckless" but is not really contained either. Not "smooth." I have worried that he might get injured, but of course we all are because of his injury history.

    Some of this is about the larger picture in baseball today. The league, teams, individual players routinely overvalue home run production. When too many players on a team swing for the fences, offense suffers. Not enough runners on base, and those runners often stranded. Arraez is the refreshing antidote to that situation. I appreciate that he does his thing (making contact), revels in it, does it extremely well. he is routinely over- or under-valued, in part it's this larger context that is shaping responses to him as an individual player.

    Santana racking up RBIs!!! We have seen Kirilloff go from having a sweet swing to looking rough. In other years it turned out he was injured. I wonder what's up this time. When there are runners on and Vasquez is up, I tend to fast forward (I realize i'm asssuming "automatic out" at this point).
  25. Kummel
    We are conditioned to assume the worst, because there is reason to associate poor performance at the plate for Kirilloff with injury. If for the first time it's a matter of adjusting and not dealing with injury, I have hope. He has a sweet swing when he's tuned in.
  26. Kummel
    Well, you literally can't win them all. This one felt lackluster early.
  27. Kummel
    He throws so hard, I'd be worried about injuries if he is stretched over more innings.

    Platoon splits and veterans (some like Santana clearly past their prime) -- this risk-averse approach to creating "depth" takes away from the energy and excitement of the game (imo). Really look forward to the return of Royce, and I hope with time other bats return to form.

    Ober looked injured.

    When Kiriloff was healthy this summer, he was a great player, a favorite to watch. So sorry to see this news -- it was evident for quite a while now that he was injured - he looked like a different player, lost that beautiful swing. Maybe he should have had surgery weeks ago? Regardless, such a shame. I wish him all the best.
  32. Kummel
    I would guess Kiriloff is dealing with injury, something is impacting his swing. When he is good to go, he's a different batter.
  33. Kummel
    It's unbelievable. The young MN batters who have emerged in the latter half of this season are a joy to watch, none more so than Royce Lewis!
  34. Kummel
    It was painful to watch Floro stay in there. Agree with others, when a pitcher doesn't have it, why let him continue to get pounded? That was giving up on the game early.
  35. Kummel
    What in tarnation. The occasional flicker of light goes out mighty fast. This team is the most inconsistent I have ever seen.
